The Bezdek–Pach conjecture asserts that the maximum number of pairwise touching positive homothetic copies of a convex body in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}$ is ${{2}^{d}}$ . Naszódi proved that the quantity in question is not larger than ${{2}^{d+1}}$ . We present an improvement to this result by proving the upper bound $3\,\cdot \,{{2}^{d-1}}$ for centrally symmetric bodies. Bezdek and Brass introduced the one-sided Hadwiger number of a convex body. We extend this definition, prove an upper bound on the resulting quantity, and show a connection with the problem of touching homothetic bodies.
